初二英语第一学期期末测试任务型阅读试题汇编

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.

One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.

Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.

The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of forty-five. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.

According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention(CDCP)(疾病预防控制中心), if you don’t often wash your hands, you can pick up viruses(病毒) from many places and make yourself ill. You’re at risk(危险) every time you touch your eyes, nose or mouth. In fact, one of the most common ways people catch colds is by rubbing(揉) their noses or their eyes when there are cold viruses on their hands. If you don’t often wash your hands, especially when you’re sick, you may spread the viruses directly to others. You should wash your hands in the following situations:

◇after using the bathroom;

◇after blowing your nose or coughing;

◇before eating, serving or preparing food;

◇after touching pets or other animals;

◇after visiting anyone who is sick;

◇when your hands are dirty.

There’s a right way to wash your hands. Follow these simple steps to keep your hands clean: use warm water(not cold or hot); wash for 15 seconds; rinse(冲洗) your hands well in warm running water and dry them with a clean towel.
